This animation shows the cloud cover as observed by satellite. High clouds and clouds with vertical development are displayed in white, low clouds and fog in grey. This map uses infrared satellite telemetry to calculate the temperature of the clouds. Low clouds and fog are difficult to distinguish from ground temperatures and might therefore be inaccurate.
Precipitation is estimated from radar and satellites. At night precipitation estimates from satellites are less accurate than during daytime. Orange crosses mark places where lightning was detected (over Europe).

We have updated the free 14-day forecast with a predictability, which shows the estimated certainty of our forecast for every day, considering uncertainties in pressure, precipitation, temperature, wind and others. For point+ users, we have added the "super" multimodel-ensemble diagram, which shows the forecast from different models in one diagram for up to 14 days.
